IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., clamp, pump, filter,
valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the
lid or control valve to separate which may result in serious injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this
potential hazard, follow these instructions.
1. Before repositioning valves and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the clamp
or any other service of the circulating system:
(a) Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure the system is not inadvertently started
during the servicing;
(b) Open manual air relief valve;
(c) Wait until all pressure is relieved, pressure gauge must read zero (0).
2. Whenever installing the filter clamp, follow the filter valve and clamp installation instructions exactly.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart instructions exactly.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately (e.g., clamp, pressure
gauge, relief valve, o-rings, etc.).
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to instructions provided.
Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity obstructing visibility
in your pool and can allow diving into or on top of obscured objects, which can cause serious personal injury
or drowning.
This filter operates under pressure. With the valve clamped properly and operated without air in the
system, this filter will operate in a safe manner. Air entering the filter and the valve not clamped correctly can
cause the valve to separate, which could cause serious personal injury and/or property damage.
Always turn pump off before changing valve positions. Changing valve positions while the pump is running
can damage the control valve, which may cause serious injury or property damage.
Chemical fumes and/or spills can cause serious corrosion to the filter and pump structural components.
Structurally weakened components can cause filter, pump or valve attachments to separate and could cause
serious bodily injury or property damage. High voltage can cause serious or fatal injury. Always install a
suitable GFCI at the power source of this unit as an added safety precaution. Article 681-31 of the NEC
requires that a GFCI be used if this pump is used with a storable pool.
Never work on the pump while it is running or power is still connected.
High voltage can cause serious
or fatal injury. A suitable ground fault interrupter should always be installed at the power supply source of
this unit. Be sure to ground the motor before connecting to electrical AC power supply. Failure to ground the
motor can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
DO NOT
ground to a gas supply pipe line.
FOR CORD AND PLUG CONNECTED UNITS
:
Connect only to a ground type receptacle protected by a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle
is protected by GFCI.
DO NOT
Bury Cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers,
and other equipment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord immediately. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock,
DO NOT
Use an extension cord to connect unit to electrical supply; provide a
properly located outlet.
